Why haven’t 2023 vehicle updates been released for your Bluetooth Obd2 Airbag Reset tool yet? The answer lies in the complexities of obtaining and implementing legitimate vehicle data. Unlike some companies who may use unauthorized methods, reputable manufacturers like Innova prioritize obtaining data legally through proper licensing agreements with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).
The Legitimate Data Acquisition Process
OEMs typically release updates for their own expensive, professional-grade scan tools first. These tools, often costing upwards of $20,000, receive updates in anticipation of new vehicle releases. Only months or even years later do OEMs release the necessary data to aftermarket companies like Innova. This delay is inherent in the process.
Why Some Scanners Update Faster (and the Risks Involved)
Some scanner companies bypass the legal process by hacking OEM software to extract proprietary information. This allows them to offer quicker updates, often through subscription services. However, this practice is illegal and carries significant risks.
A quick Google search for “scan tools sued by Ford” will reveal lawsuits filed against companies engaging in these unethical practices. Court documents often detail accusations of unauthorized access, hacking, and copying of proprietary diagnostic software.
Purchasing a scanner from a company engaging in such practices puts you at risk. Your scanner could be rendered useless (“bricked”) at any time if the manufacturer takes action against the illegal software.
The Innova Difference: Quality and Legality
Innova, a leading provider of OBD2 scanners, has a long-standing history of ethical data acquisition. Despite being one of the earliest and largest diagnostic scanner companies in the USA, Innova has never been sued by a vehicle manufacturer. This underscores our commitment to legal and ethical practices.
Developing updates for Bluetooth OBD2 airbag reset tools and other functionalities is a complex process. Innova’s team of nearly 100 engineers and field testers meticulously analyze OEM documentation, engineer the necessary updates, and rigorously test them across thousands of vehicle makes and models. This ensures accuracy, reliability, and compatibility.
Patience Ensures Quality and Reliability
This comprehensive approach takes time. Innova consolidates updates into one major annual release, covering all supported makes and models. While this may require patience, it guarantees a thorough and reliable update for your Bluetooth OBD2 airbag reset tool, ensuring accurate diagnostics and functionality.
